Storage Time
Typically lasts 7-10 days in the refrigerator once opened, but always check the 'best by' date on commercial products. Unopened commercial dressings can last for several months in the pantry until the expiration date.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to ensure optimal freshness and safety. Store in the coldest part of your refrigerator, away from the door.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell, distinct from its usual tangy aroma.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
- A change in texture, such as excessive thinning, curdling, or separation that doesn't resolve with stirring.
